I encountered the same thing and had to run convert-ly manually to
work around it. Open a terminal window and type the commands:

export PYTHONPATH=/Users/ssanders/Documents/Lilypond\ stuff/LilyPond\ 
2.11.x/Lilypond.app/Contents/Resources/share/lilypond/current/python
/Users/ssanders/Documents/Lilypond\ stuff/LilyPond\ 
2.11.x/LilyPond.app/Contents/Resources/bin/convert-ly -e myfile.ly

where you substitute the name of your lilypond source file for
"myfile.ly".

If you use csh or tcsh in your terminal window instead of sh, you need
to change the "export" command to

setenv PYTHONPATH /Users/ssanders/Documents/Lilypond\ stuff/LilyPond\ 
2.11.x/Lilypond.app/Contents/Resources/share/lilypond/current/python

Hope this helps!
